True Men and Traitors by Dw Doyle
A first-hand look at our war of secrets against the Soviets In this engrossing memoir, former high-level CIA officer David Doyle helps lift the dark veil that has kept The Agency's inner workings hidden from the public. Doyle was with the OSS in World War II, directly engaging the Nazi war machine in occupied Europe. Later he joined the elite Clandestine Services, where he served as a spy master in the Far East, Congo, Burundi, Senegal, Belgium, and finally, the plum Soviet Bloc Division. He was the CIA's base chief in the Congo when Premier Patrice Lumumba was assassinated, and now, for the first time, readers learn exactly what happened - and who the real murderers were. In relating his many adventures (and misadventures), Doyle provides a rare glimpse into how the CIA operates, whether recruiting agents, employing trade craft, or trying to extricate itself from some snafu. There's also a powerful section on CIA traitors, such as Aldrich Ames, which gives new perspective on the damage betrayal causes; and a section that argues cogently for the CIA's necessity in today's unpredictable world. David W. Doyle lives with his wife in Honolulu, Hawaii.
